This is hopefully something reliable that we can trust. DEHS has
not been this up to now. And it was painful because it was maintained
outside of the QA team and we could do nothing except try to poke
someone or wait.

The email notification part is very important and it would be nice to have
it back soon. It should not be too difficult to reenable it on top of the
new implementation.
For the rest, you're still very welcome to contribute those features but
it was very important to get the basic infrastructure moved within
debian-qa and more importantly made reliable. We're not that many in the
team and the tools needs to run without too much manual intervention.
Please don't be demotivated by this "fork". It came out of our
needs/desires and our inability to fix DEHS because it was not part of
Debian QA.
Cheers,
